Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

64*27=1728

1728/16=108

or

64/16=4

4*27=108

hope this helps!

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circular path of the horse closer to the center is 1/4 of the radius of the path of the horse farther from the center. Since circumference is directly proportional to radius, the length of shorter path is 1/4 of the length of the longer path. Therefore, 4 times as many revolutions must be made to go the same distance, which is 27x4= 108
